5 new Nintendo Switch games we could see in 2021

The Switch is home to many beloved Nintendo exclusive franchises, but there are many major games in development that we have not heard about in a long time. And 2021 is looking sparse for Nintendo.

Here are 5 of the most highly anticipated Nintendo Switch games we need to at least hear more about in 2021 — but to play them would be far better.

Unfortunately, Nintendo has not revealed anything substantial about the game since then outside of a brief mention during Age of Calamity's reveal.

This long-requested sequel was confirmed just months after the Nintendo Switch's launch during E3 2017. But Nintendo's messaging around the game went scarily silent after that.

Sadly, the game ran into development problems and Nintendo decided to reboot the project in 2019, delaying the game indefinitely. When could we hear more?

While PlatinumGames developers have affirmed that the game is still in active development since then, Nintendo has not shared anything else about Bayonetta 3 since 2017. Time for an update?

Hot off the heels of the successful Detective Pikachu movie, The Pokémon Company confirmed a sequel to the game it was based on is in the works for Switch.

We have not heard anything else about Detective Pikachu 2 since then, but will hopefully learn more in 2021 as part of the series' 25th-anniversary celebration.

The next mainline Pokémon game has not been revealed yet, but a new major title is expected to be released in 2021 to celebrate the series' 25th-anniversary.
